3-methylglutarylcarnitine (2) levels

SLC13A3 · rs4809594

What the study found

Who was studied 6,136 Finnish ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the T allele shifted the measure 0.22 lower; p = 2 × 10−11.

Where it sits Chromosome 20, band 20q13.12 — in an intron of SLC13A3.

What each result means

C/C No copy of the version the research linked to 3-methylglutarylcarnitine (2) levels. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to 3-methylglutarylcarnitine (2) levels. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T Two copies of the version the research linked to 3-methylglutarylcarnitine (2) levels. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.

Questions about rs4809594

What is rs4809594?

rs4809594 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SLC13A3 gene. Published research associates it with 3-methylglutarylcarnitine (2) levels. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs4809594 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs4809594 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature communications 2022, PMID:35347128. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
